I was diagnosed with genital warts (HPV) back in 2001. I had a Rx of cream which made the cauliflower-like sores go away. I never had another sore until I contracted herpes from my longterm boyfriend. Still, no sign of the warts. Anyway, so I got a wart on my finger which I treated with an over the counter wart remover. No more problems. Well about a week or so ago I got a really dark rash that appeared on my chest in between my breasts. I see a cauliflower-like sore there and Im freaking out. Before I head to my gynecologist I wanted to find out if genital warts (HPV) can spread throughout my body and if there is any way that this rash could be caused by the STD I contracted in 2001. Please give me some insight. What could this be?

 Hello,The genital type of HPV has predilection to mucus membranes like penile,vaginal,and anal.Rarely oral especially in children subjected to fellatio as a sexual abuse.The non genital HPVs do occur elsewhere in the skin rather than the mucosa.Also condylomata are sexually transmitted and it enters an abraded skin.The lesion on the breast area could be a common wart and most unlikely to be of condylomata acuminata.Best wishes.

Ok so what can I do to get rid of this problem? Can I treat them like I would regular warts or do I need to see a DR to be treated like genital warts? They itch terribly and its surrounded by a bunch of small bumps. What should I do?

Hello,It is unlikely thats wart would itch that much.A seborrheic dermatitis or a fungal infection would and the location is favorable in contemplating a diagnosis.Best to get a consultation and it would be very wrong to treat for a wart with out being sure.Best wishes.
